IS TRAVELEYES
FOR ME?
We offer a safe and comfortable way for solo travellers to explore the
world. Couples and friends who are looking for a sociable experience
join our trips too. Whether you’re blind or sighted, we invite you to
join us for an exploration of all the senses: smell the aromas, taste
the flavours, hear the music, feel the breeze, share the sights and
share the adventure! If you’re still wondering whether Traveleyes is
right for you, we have two questions to ask you:
1. Do you like people?
2. Do you love travel?
If your answer is yes to both, then it’s a yes from us. People join our
groups from all backgrounds, cultures, nationalities and age groups.
It’s part of what makes the experience so great! However, due to the
nature of our holidays, all our travellers are English speaking.

TRAVELLERS SAY
San Francisco & Yosemite
with Traveleyes, 2018
By Conor Smith, Blind Traveller
Traveleyes have given me an experience I feared I could
never have as a blind man. I cannot rate the company
and service and concept enough. I fell in love with San
Francisco, California and Yosemite national park. I was
nervous that the national park would be hard for me to
conceptualise because I couldn't see but I was wrong.
I still got plenty out of it and found our local guide to
slide easily into describing things in a way those of us
who couldn't see could understand. I was sad to say
goodbye to the group as the entire setup liberated me
in a way I always thought lost forever since I lost my
vision and we genuinely got along really well. Our tour
guide was brilliant in every way and allowed me to get
the most out of the holiday. I am telling every blind
person I know to use you guys. You have no idea what
you have done for me.
Tandem Cruising
in Holland with
Traveleyes, 2018
By Peter Guest, Sighted Traveller
This was my first Traveleyes holiday and it won’t be
my last. Everyone was so friendly and worked so
naturally together it was almost like we were
a family.
When you tell folk you are planning a holiday such
as this the reaction is often ‘aren’t you good for
giving up your time’—well it’s just not like that at
all. In fact, it’s an honour and privilege to assist the
visually impaired. It gives a whole new dimension
to the holiday as you share your vision with
others. All the people I guided were so grateful for
everything the whole holiday was a totally rewarding
experience. I just can’t wait for the next.
